The stairs have been in people’s lives for a very long time. First stairs were probably cut from the dirt or built of stones. The initial purpose of stairs has remained the same: it is to get from one level of the building (or ground) to another.

Stairs are used in our homes and in lower buildings. Nowadays every higher building has an elevator or escalator. These are used to get up and down easily, however, in every building there are also stairs. If not for any other reason, then for safety requirements: for fire escapes.
